Hi human! My name is Oakleigh! Though I may look like another member of the dalmatian group, I am a “horse of a different color.” I am a confident and independent young pup who is looking for my forever family! I have lots of energy and would love a family who is just as active and adventurous as I am. I am the queen of tug of war and vow to win every battle! I also love, love, love going on walks. My foster parents say I’m very smart and can adjust to my family’s routine easily. I know when it’s time to go to my crate and even respond to the command “kennel.” However, I am doing well with my potty training and would also do great without a crate. As I am food motivated, tricks are a breeze when I get a treat! However, I can be rather independent, so I would do best with a human who can show me who’s in charge!

I am best suited to a home with high to moderate energy and need a Mommy or Daddy with the time and patience to teach me my manners.
